Voice feminizing therapy and surgery

Results

Finding a voice that matches your gender identity and feels true to you is an individual process. Voice feminizing therapy and surgery are tools that can help your voice sound more feminine.

Your results will partly depend on the techniques used, as well as the effort you put into practicing changing your voice. But keep in mind that a higher pitch doesn't guarantee being perceived as female, especially in the absence of visual cues, such as on the phone.

Some people also report that it can be hard to maintain their new voice with loved ones or people who knew them before transitioning. You might even fear comments about your new voice. Try to focus on enjoying what you're doing for yourself. This can help you weather feelings of anxiety and self-consciousness.
